Got leftover stuffing? Then you need to stuff it with cheese & make these AMAZING Mozzarella Stuffing Balls!! 

Thanksgiving is over, and our fridges are packed full of leftovers.  How about turning one of those leftovers into something different, and even tastier than the first go-round?

That’s where these Mozzarella Stuffing Balls come into play.  Oh my, oh my – are these suckers good!

Great way to use up that leftover stuffing!  And they couldn’t be simpler.  Follow along with me!

Here’s what you need:

Dice up some fresh Mozzarella cheese into small bits.

Take your cold stuffing and wrap it around a piece of Mozzarella.  Like so.

Roll it around with your hands to pack it into a firm ball.

Repeat until all the stuffing balls are done.

Beat an egg in a small dish.  Set aside.  Combine the panko bread crumbs & shredded Parmesan in another dish.  Dip each stuffing ball into the egg, and then dredge in the panko/Parmesan mixture.

Fry in hot oil for a few minutes until golden brown.
